The Fellowships & Writing Center (FWC) offers workshops throughout the year to facilitate your professional development as a scholar. Our workshops range from informational panels on fellowships and research to interactive sessions in which we work on targeted writing skills or discuss project management strategies.
Workshops and other programming are announced on Engage, in the FWC newsletter On Grants and Prose, and in other Harvard Griffin GSAS communications.
We also partner with the Academic Resource Center and the Mignone Center for Career Success to bring you events such as “What I Wish I Had Known about Summer for PhD Students.”
See upcoming events below or visit the events calendar for more FWC events.
In the Spotlight
Getting Ready for the Academic Job Market: A Working Group
We will be teaming up with the Mignone Center and the Bok Center to host a four-week academic job market series (July 14–August 7, over Zoom), which aims to help students craft a cohesive portfolio of materials before the academic market heats up in August. Each week will focus on a different component of the dossier, with an introduction to each statement followed by a session of peer review. Find more details and register through our Google form.
